Tropes used in Pseudo City include:

• Body Horror: In The Kitchen, a salesperson has a kitchen growing on his back and he committed suicide because of it (the kitchen was okay, though).
• It's Raining Men: More like raining fascists, without the parachutes.
• Multiple Choice Past: The Founder has one, it seems.
• Space Whale Aesop: Respect any attempt at posing or you'll get hung upside-down by your toes from a random lamppost and whipped with a long, half-cooked piece of linguini for no less than six hours. It's from The Law.
• Weird Currency: PC's dominant mode of currency is doll hairs. Apparently, The Founder viewed doll hairs as a more compelling form of wealth than paper bills. Justified in that replaced human hair when PC's residents shaved their heads and went on shopping sprees for Rogain (which affected few businesses that didn't sell Rogain); doll hairs could be more effectively regulated.
• Violence Is the Only Option: Enforced. In Pseudofolliculitis City, conflicts have to resolved by violent acts; and using nonviolent solutions is illegal.
